Edward M. Yood, the long-time MEA Municipal Chapter Director, and a 35 year veteran of the NYC Department of Sanitation, was elected MEA Recording Secretary by the MEA’s Executive Board at its February 17, 2009 meeting. Mr. Yood will complete the term of Joseph Ramaglia, who resigned earlier this year. “Joe Ramaglia has served the MEA loyally and effectively for many years, including his four terms as Recording Secretary and previous service as MEA Director at Large and Department of Environmental Protection Chapter Director,” said MEA President Stephen Ferrer. “We hope Mr. Yood can continue Mr. Ramaglia’s tradition of excellence.”
